So, I have a low end porcelain over steel tub in my condo (built in 2000) that creaks and pops a lot under my feet, and I believe what ever support that was under the tub has failed.
There are many fine racks in the bottom of the top, and one area in particular, near the drain, actually sits lower than the drain, so water pools and sits in that area.
I hate this tub - beyond words. I'm planning to replace it - after reading many pluses and minus on tub materials, I'm seriously thinking of cast iron, based partly on my experience with dad's cast iron tub, and how it doesn't move at all under my feet.
How long do you think I have before I have a real problem with this tub, such as the tub rusting to a point that the porcelain begins popping up etc.
The tub is being used for 3 showers a day.
Thanks!
